Very Bad Therapy

An interview with Chrissy Gillmore about the primacy of client strengths, resilience, and culture in healing trauma, and how a pathology-focused approach can result in bad therapy.  Plus, Carrie and Ben explore the controversy behind the APA Clinical Practice Guidelines for PTSD and discuss whether being trauma-informed is an ethical requirement, clever marketing, or both.   Thank you for listening.  To support the show and receive access to regular bonus episodes, check out the Very Bad Therapy Patreon community.   Introduction: 0:00 - 17:09 Part One: 17:09 - 1:01:26 Part Two: 1:01:26 - 1:25:13   Very Bad Therapy: Website / Facebook / Tell Us Your Story Ben Fineman | Counseling and Psychotherapy (Benjamin Michael Fineman - Registered Associate MFT #119754 - Supervised by Curt Widhalm, LMFT #47333)   Show Notes: Donate to KidsCan Chrissy Gillmore's Website Better Results: Using Deliberate Practice to Improve Therapeutic Effectiveness Kaupapa Māori Model of Practice: Tihei-wā - Mauri Ora Clinical Practice
